About ARALON COLOR
ARALON COLOR GmbH is an independent, ISO 9001:2015-certified specialty chemicals company based in Heiligenroth (Rhineland-Palatinate), directly on the A3 between Cologne and Frankfurt am Main. In the newly built plant, the company began in 2013 with the development, production and distribution of formaldehyde-free daylight fluorescent pigments (fluorescent pigments) for paints and coatings, printing inks, aerosols, plastics and other applications. The portfolio has since been expanded to include phosphorescent afterglow pigments (ARAGLO), fluorescent dyes as well as organic specialty pigments and dispersions. The core competence is the encapsulation of dyes and pigments (Encapsulation Technology); the pigment series ARAQUA, ARAGEN and ARAPLAST enable high lightfastness as well as the coloration of thin olefin films for single- and multi-layer packaging. Distribution takes place via a global distributor network in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America as well as Oceania. ARALON pigments are also used in art and museum applications.
